STX International Teams With Lucky Red for Italian Distribution

The pact was announced Thursday by David Kosse and John Friedberg of STXinternational and Andrea Occhipinti and Stefano Massenzi of Lucky Red. STXinternational also announced it has reached agreements to extend many of its major European deals, including Tobis Film in German-speaking Europe and SF Studios in Scandinavia.

Three-year-old STX hired Kosse last year to launch the division as part of a strategy to expand distribution of its content. STXinternational currently has 33 international distribution partnerships that cover more than 150 countries globally and generate more than $1 billion per year in combined box office.
